I just bought 1 Chinese silkie rooster and 4 hens. I bought these for my 10 yo daughters 11th birthday. I have never had silkies before and need to know as much info about how to care for them .... I do not think it is the same care that a simple plain chicken takes. I need to know, is there anything special or different I need to do when making their new home.
I will be picking them up next week after the 24th cause one of them has a job to finish, she is hatching out some quail eggs. Meanwhile I want to make a nice but simple place for them, we dont have a lot of money.
I have found some ideas from the differnt threads here but I need to know about the coop/pen. What do I do different or do I? I know I need to make everything lower but that is about all .....
I am finding it hard to find info on Chinese silkies. Any one have any links to where I can get good info on Silkies and/or Chinese silkies???
Thanks a million and God bless!
